A CARD FROM JERRY COLLINS ON COUNTY D1.
VISION.
GREAT FAILS NJ. T., Sept. L. To the
Editor of The Miner. by Rocky Mountain
Telegraph. 1.-The Cascade County measure
is creating intense excitement in this Sec
ton, and outside OF some opposition at
Sun River the demand for division is uni
versal. Petitions signed by twelve hum
dred taxpayers have already been received
urgently requesting division, as it will be
of the greatest possible convenience to all
concerned. The Tribune this evening sum
marizes the case as follows: "The urgent
appeal of twelve hundred petitioners
zens and taxpayers of the proposed county
of Cascade-cannot be slighted by the Leg
islature, if it is shown th At injury is done
to no other county or section and that
there is sufficient assessable property in
the new county for it's proper maintenance.
THESE POINTS
the Tribune has already made but they
will bear repetition as they constitute the
essence and foundation Uf the whole argu-
ment. Meagher County is asked to sur
render portion OF her Territory that is
cut off by mountain ranges and is an ex-
pense rather than a benefit to her. Against
this there is no protest from Meagher
County. Lewis and Clarke. with it's great
and rapidly increasing wealth, can have no
good objections to ceding that portion
asked of her in the interest of the citiz ne
thereof. whose best interests demand it.
Choteau County has no better valid
grounds OF objections. On the basis OF last
years assessment, which was So. 5S4, ,6S2
lust $55O,OOO was in the new county and
the remainder, over $4,000, 900. in the
old.
ADMITTING THE EXAGGERATED CLAIMS OF
STOCK LOSSES,
the two hundred miles of railroad within
her borders more than make up in wealth
the same time the county is relieved o.
nearly ope-third of her large indebtedness
In the light OF these facts, and they cannot
be denied, it is clear that Choteau County
would not be injured in the least by thu
| creation of the new county. and thu
opposition from Fort Benton is purely per
sonal and factious. We would ask OF th'
members of the Legislature, before whom
this question is to come for decision. tha'
these simple and undeniable facts ehonld b.
fully and fairly considered. No county O.
section would be injured by this division
but rich and rapidly growing region. tn

The Northern Paoif,o,s Election.

Ihe Northern Pscific's Election.
NEW YORK, August 31.-[Special to The
Mlner.J-A correspondent OF The MINER
asked the vice-president of the Northern
Pacific what he knew about the coming
election. II am trying to mind my own
business, he said. Other officials were az
reticsnt, and even the Elijah Smith party
nave nothing to say for publication. It
can be stated with more positiveness than
attaches itself to ordinary newspaper
statements that the present management
OF the Northern Pacific will retain control
OF that company at the election in
September. Within few days,
probably this week. there will be
some developments which will illustrate
the significance of the above sentence.
Meantime it can be said that the Oregon
is not in q position to
retain it's Northern Pacific holdings. On
the street here everybody is sure that
Elijah Smith and his Union Pacific friends
will carry the day. Smith insists that al
ready he has majority of the proxies.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
ITou uuOIuc1dl sources. IL Is SAID the North.
ern Pacific management never had go
many proxies at this date as they now
have in their own State. This is known to
be the case, especially with Charles B.
Wright. of Philadelphia. President Harris
and The committee will begin work in earn
est for proxies within few days. The
power of Smith was never better
displayed than in this fight. While
he is complaining about the attacks
on him, he bids x per cent. for Northern
Pacific proxies, works fourteen hours a
lay on beef sandwich and expresses the
strong belief that he has majority of
Northern Pacific. It is said that Elijah
Smith and others connected with the Ore
,on Navigation Company have considered
5he feasibility of proceeding against Bray
Jon Ives for the alleged circulation of in
urious reports. Mr.. Ives himself refuses to
discuss tie matter in any of it's phases, but
his friends claim that he holds the winning
hand.

The Worlds Wonderland.

So lar the number of visitors to the
Yellowstone park has been, perhaps, one.
third or even one-half less than that of
last year; but those that do visit the park
are doing it more thorough and leisurely.
The interest is deepening, as many new
and wonderful objects are being brought
into notice. Gen. w. FL. Brown, of Wash
ington, took an eight days tour in the
park in the latter end of August, spend
ing one day at the lake. He was accom-
panied by w. G. Mcmillan, also of Wash
ington.
On August 80 DR.. and Mrs. John p.
Newman also returned from six days
tour in the park, and were also invigorat-
ed and delighted with their journey. The
doctor had been severely injured in the
region af the spine while riding in one
of those Pacific coast stages, having had
three physicians attending him in Port
land. Ths doctor returned vastly i'm
proved in health and furnished with fresh
material for thousand sermons drawn
from mountain, canyon and geyser. At
the upper geyser basin there wrs an unus-
ually brilliant exhibition of great geysers
liz action. Ex-Governor Alcorn, of Miss
issippi, and his two lovely and talented
daughters, Senator Sabin and family,
Hon. H. D. Hyde, of Boston, and family,
with numerous D. DIS and T.. Il. DIS
were present to witness the exhibition.
While visiting the Four Sisters about srn-
down, q chain lake of great beauty, in the
third one of which there is a gaseous
geyser that has become a subject of great
interest to visitors, it was explained how
the turbulent geyser, the third sister,
came to be called the Mugwump. In Sep
TENDER. 1884, while the air was full OF
politics, party of ladies and gentlemen
was much entertained by this impetuous
disturber Of the otherwise peaceable and
and harmonious Four Sisters. One iady
remarked, well, I should say that this is
the clown Of the geysers." "a magnif-
cent kicker said another; "A mug
wump, and no mistake" said a third; and
"The Mugwump" it has remained ever
since.

little thinned off OF late. They are
hunted for their skins, which are worth
81 90 apiece In the London IL market. IT
Is rare sport hunting them.
"a number of men on horseback, some
times forty or fifty, with a band of ma.
tives and a lot of kangaroo dogs, form
a great semicircle for miles across, on
such matter.
"After moving over the country FOR
quite distance they gradually work the
kangaroos in the drives prepared be-
forehand.
The drive is great A-shaped fence
that narrows up as the hunters advance
and ends in great corral, in which the
kangaroos are finally cooped. Then you
close your gate and you have your kanga-
roos all In as snug as can be.
"The biggest drive I ever knew of in
Queensland consisted OF 600 kangaroos,
but they had one in New Wales once
when 10000 were driven in at one time.
"IIpa glne what a tremendous lot OF
wild animals you would have all grouped
thus together, and varying in size from
six inches to six feet in height.
"The hounds used on the kangaroo
drives are long-legged, little fellows,
something like your greyhounds, and
they are great stayers III the chase They
are called kangaroo dogs, because they
are so effective in rounding them in.
They are of light dun color, and for a
long race are regular clippers.
Ihe kangaroOs springs with tremen-

goes on, and have to give in to the

Three Affectionate Sisters.

Il is we'll known how attached the three
daughters of the King OF Denmark are to
each other. His Majesty is fond of re-
lating an instance of this attachment.
While the Princess Thyra was still un-
married the Princess of Wales and the
Czarina with their children came on a
visit to Eredensborg. One morning the
King was going out on very early ex-
petition and determined to go to mis-
daughters rooms to bid them goodbye"
When the fatLer tapped at the Princess
of Wales bedroom door he got no answer.
and opening it found her room empty.
and on going to the Czarina's he knocked
with the same result. On arriving at
Princess Thyra's simple bedchamber he
found his two elder married daughters
had each taken mattress from her own
splendid guest chamber and established
herself thereon IN the young girls room.
They were all chatting merrily, but were
g1rlishly anxious to conceal the escapade
from their ladies in waiting.
